+Great location and very close to the rainforest entry. The host is a great guide and took me on a rainforest walk. The food was home cooked and exceptional for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
−The bathroom could have been cleaned more thoroughly before my arrival and the property would benefit from some nicer outdoor seating options but they did their best to make it as comfortable as possible.

“Sri Lankan hospitality and nature at its finest”
+This is an absolutely incredible place to stay just minutes from the beautiful rainforest reserve. The hosts are more than wonderful, we were welcomed from our long drive with tea and 7 delicious homemade curries and salads. Ananda took us on an exceptional trek through the forest (snacks, leech socks etc. all provided for), where we spotted an abundance of wildlife from snakes to monitor lizards, from frogs to monkeys. We walked slowly and quietly and so were able to see things others might miss - he really knows the flora and fauna of his home. The hostess prepared another unbelievably delicious lunch for our return, and it felt like we were welcomed home. The room is super spacious with air conditioning and good wifi; we wish we could’ve stayed longer at this peaceful place in the jungle with this wonderful family.

“Amazing stay. Highly recommended!”
+Staying at Glitz Marriott in Deniyaya felt much less like booking accommodation and much more like being welcomed into someone’s home in the middle of the jungle. Ananda, our host and jungle guide, together with his family, created a genuinely warm and relaxed atmosphere from the first moment. We stayed directly next to their house in our own apartment, which gave us privacy while still feeling very connected to the place and the people who live there. Ananda guided us through the rainforest and shared an incredible amount of knowledge about the forest, animals, and plants. You can really feel how much he loves the place he calls home. The food deserves a special mention. Every meal was freshly cooked by the family and was honestly some of the best Sri Lankan food we had during our trip. The location itself is beautiful - surrounded by nature, quiet, green, and peaceful. The rooms were very clean and well cared for, which made the whole stay even more comfortable. If you’re visiting the rainforest near Deniyaya and want something authentic rather than a generic hotel experience, this place is truly special. We arrived as travelers and left feeling like we had experienced a very spe

“Great memories!!!”
+We stayed at the Glitz Marriott for one night. Our wonderful host and guide, Ananda, gave us such a memorable experience in the short time we spent there. We arrived around noon and Ananda, as our guide, gave us the most amazing 4hr tour of the rainforest which was amazing!!! After that, he prepared the most delicious dinner with many dishes. Our room was spacious and very clean. When visiting Sinharaja Rain Forest, stay at the Glitz Marriott. Ananda, thank you so much for the memories!! Lonnie

“Nice place for a couple of nights in the area”
+The room was big with enough place to move around. The bed big and comfortable with mosquito net. A new bathroom and new air conditioning. The food very tasty, the portions are huge. Not possible to finish it. The guesthouse is situated about 2-3km from the entrance of Sinharaja Forest. It is also close to the river, which is a nice walk.
−It lacks a bit of privacy.

“Good”
+It was a different kind of Marriott than the name suggests, on the contrary, very traditional 🙂 But the people were super nice, they give u so much food u cannot eat. Going to the jungle was gorgeous.
−There are only three plug electricity sockets.

“CON POCO TIENES MUCHO”
+The place feels really authentic, with amazing and friendly personal treatment. It’s in a great spot, right near the rainforest. Plus, Annanda, the owner, personally guides the visit, making it extra special and personal. And I want to highlight the exceptional food that they prepare the curry it is amazing.
−The AC does not work and was a bit inconvenient, but it’s true that it’s refreshing at night.
